Resilient Workplace 
7 Steps to a Disaster Resilient Workplace
This booklet offers a basic approach for organizations to improve their resiliency by taking steps to be prepared to survive and recover quickly.
Disasters of all types and sizes can strike at anytime.
The difference between an organization that survives a disaster and those that fail, is taking action before disaster strikes! About 40% of businesses without a disaster plan will fail after an event, with another 25% closing a year later. The purpose of ResilientWorkplace.org is to assist you in making sure your organization does not become a statistic!
Here are three complementary resources to help you to become more disaster resilient:
The QuakeSmart Community Resilience Program is a guided program to: 1) identify risk, develop a plan and take action to secure your space, systems, and structure in order to reduce injuries and damage; 2) prepare your staff; and 3) identify services your organization may provide to your community after a disaster. The program includes recognition for any of the areas you address. Also, additional information is available for other hazards.
Disaster Resistant Business (DRB) provides the internationally recognized DRB Toolkit®, tips, materials, and other resources to improve resilience. DRB includes easy video instructions and templates to facilitate an organization creating or enhancing their disaster plan. These step-by-step guides and interactive content are customizable for each organization’s needs therefore producing tangible, measureable, disaster-planning progress covering your specific business continuity needs.
